NFL Odds, Picks & Predictions: Jets vs. Raiders
Jets vs. Raiders
Zach Wilson or Aidan O'Connell, who you got? If you're asking me who has the better matchup, it's Wilson. New York's defense leads the league in pressure rate, and they have two corners who can limit Davante Adams and Jakobi Meyers in coverage. I suspect New York's plan will be to force O'Connell to quickly work through his progressions, which could lead to a ton of checkdowns and sacks. But what's disgusting is I might actually trust O'Connell more to not screw up, even in the tougher matchup. It's worth mentioning that the Raiders scored 30 points against a Giants defense that held the Jets to 13 the week prior. The game will likely come down to whether Wilson can take advantage of a Raiders defense that doesn't generate a ton of pressure and invites teams to efficiently march the ball down the field against them. If I had to bet this, I'm taking the Jets, as the matchup favors them. But I have no faith in Wilson at all, which leads me to the under.
Pick: Under 36.5

What is Betting Against the Spread?
Betting "against the spread" refers to the act of choosing the winning team based on a numeric handicap placed on the team that oddsmakers believe is superior, rather than picking the outright winner. For example, if the Rams face the Bengals, and oddsmakers set the spread at Rams -3.5, you would need Los Angeles to win by 4 or more points in order to cash your Rams bet.
What is an Over/Under Bet?
Over/Under is a wager based on how many points you think will be scored in a specific game. Oddsmakers set the total, and bettors decide whether the final score will be higher or lower than that number. If an Over/Under is set at 44.5 points and you bet Over, you will need the combined score of both teams to be 45 points or higher to win your bet.
What is a Moneyline Bet?
A moneyline bet involves choosing which team you believe will win a specific matchup. The moneyline favorite carries a minus designation, like -130. This means that you need to wager $130 to earn a $100 profit. Conversely, the underdog carries a plus designation, like +110. This means that you win $110 in profit on a $100 bet.
